I plant a field in the last days
Chapter 51: Selling Water
Seeing that Lu Yuan wanted to buy water, the others couldn't understand why Lu Yuan wanted to do this. Water was more precious than money these days.
Although the water will be delivered every two days, the water is still very tight, but in comparison, the use of money is not very important.
There are not many things that money can buy. The prices of all kinds of things are constantly rising, especially for food. As for water, rationing is now implemented, and money can’t be bought. So everyone sees Lu When I wanted to sell water, I was immediately confused.
"I am not short of water right now." Lu Yuan said lightly.
Several other people shook their heads. When I mentioned it to everyone in the past, someone immediately came to ask Lu Yuanshui how to sell it.
"This tank of water totals 500,000 yuan, no bargaining."
Someone immediately ridiculed.
"A tank of water sells for half a million? Are you crazy for money? A few months ago, this water was used casually. Now you open your mouth and you will need half a million, why don't you grab it!" A middle-aged aunt He hugged his arms with contempt in his eyes and said.
Several other people also followed suit, and the meaning was almost the same.
Lu Yuan was not moved at all. He still insisted on 500,000 a cylinder of water. He thought the price was very reasonable. After all, it was impossible to buy, and no one wanted to buy it.
Everyone now only has one liter of water rationed every day, and in this kind of hot weather, one liter of water is not enough at all. When everyone is thirsty, they will take a small sip and dare not drink it.
Finally, someone was tempted.
"Little brother, I don't know what your name is. I want to buy it, but I can't ask for that much. Look, can I buy fifty thousand yuan?" A young man in his thirties came out with a black face. It's lacquered, and the whole body is wet with sweat.
"Of course, this tank of water is about 200 jins, and the weight after removing the tank is about 200 jins, which is about 100 liters of water, which is 5,000 yuan per liter of water. If you are 50,000 yuan, I will give you ten liters of water! "Lu Yuan said after calculating.
The other party nodded and then took out the phone to transfer the money to Lu Yuan.
"By the way, add you as a friend. My name is Chen Ke. If you still have water to sell, let me know that there is a three-year-old child in my family who is not very good recently, so I need water urgently."
Lu Yuan took out his mobile phone and passed the friend's authentication of the other party, and then filled in a note: "Well, my name is Lu Yuan. I will tell you if I sell it to you in the future."
The other party transferred the money to Lu Yuan, then turned around and went home to fetch the container. After someone started, the rest of the people followed suit.
"Oh! I had known it and moved with it! It was a bit of a surprise! What a bad luck!" said a young man who was sweaty, but was not smoked by the smoke.
Lu Yuan glanced at each other and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. While others were fighting the fire, he hid from the side to watch the excitement. Now he saw that others had brought water and started to become jealous again. Lu Yuan was quite the one who was after the fire. Don't like it.
"Handsome guy, give me some too. I want one hundred thousand yuan." A beautiful woman in her early thirties came over and said to Lu Yuan.
"I also want 20,000 yuan!"
"I want forty thousand! No, fifty thousand!"
In a short while, all the jars of water were sold out. People who bought the water returned home to take containers to fill in the water. Lu Yuan found a measuring cup and picked up the water for everyone.
Watching people who bought water leave happily, people who didn't buy water regretted not having started earlier.
After processing the water, Lu Yuan sent the tank back to Guo Daming's house. The other party looked at Lu Yuan with a sullen look. Although he was very fat and tall, he looked like that kind of puffiness and puffiness. Lu Yuan started, he was definitely not an opponent, he couldn't fight, and he didn't care about it. Lao Guo could only sigh and admit his death.
The firefighters did the final cleaning of the fire on the scene, and confirmed that there was no possibility of fire before putting away the fire fighting tools.
Everyone who participated in the fire fighting was completely dirty, and the fire brigade was very generous to provide water to wash their faces for everyone who participated in the fire fighting.
In the end, the residents of the neighborhood committee were long overdue, and everyone was not surprised. One of the neighborhood committee leaders, Director Tong, brought a group of people to express sympathy for the victims in the fire, and on behalf of their superiors, they offered something. Water and food expressed compensation and warned everyone to use electricity and fire safely.
Everyone didn't take them seriously at all, they walked and scattered, the weather was too hot, and no one wanted to stay longer.
Director Tong was embarrassed when no one was taking care of him. He said some face-saving words and left with someone.
After checking, the fire burned a total of 23 houses. Three of them were forcibly toppled because they wanted to block the fire source. Huang Huahua was one of them. The other two were torn down after half of their homes were burned, but none Huang Huahua is so miserable.
Fifteen people were killed in the fire and 33 were burned. Three firefighters were among them. More than 50 people were left homeless and faced reconstruction problems.
The scene was silent. No one wanted to claim responsibility for the fire. They could only wait for the police from the police station to come to investigate and collect evidence, and then determine who was responsible for the fire.
More than fifty people were left homeless. This has become the most difficult problem in the No. 3 area. As for those who have been burned, they have been sent to the hospital for treatment.
A long distance away, Lu Yuan saw a group of people sitting under a nearby tree and looking at the house that could protect him more than ten hours ago, now in ruins.
Looking at the half-million in his mobile wallet, Lu Yuan knew that it was not the time. At that time, he saw the screaming cry of Huang Huahua’s house being pushed to, but he was moved with compassion and went later. Help Guo Daming to move, but now the victims are gathered together, he still can't get the money out.
Five hundred thousand points will be divided into the hands of more than fifty people, and each will be less than ten thousand yuan. Then someone will come forward and point out responsibilities. Not only will it fail to achieve the goal of saving people, it will become a target for everyone. Lu Yuan didn't want to see it.
So Lu Yuan turned around and went home.
After changing his dirty clothes, he went to the bathroom to take a refreshing shower, and then Lu Yuan went back to the bed and fell asleep deeply. It was exhausting after a busy day.
Not knowing how long it took, Lu Yuan heard a knock on the door, and then he heard his mother open the door.
"Hello, our No. 3 neighborhood committee. This time the fire burned a lot of people. There are more than 50 people without a place to live. So we can help a little bit, so we got a fundraiser, you see ..."
